Umm not to be a wet blanket, but you're EXCEPTIONALLY well qualified.
I'm not downplaying your achievement, it's incredible that you've done everything that you have including getting the grant.
The only caveat being that you didn't have a network. I think that's what doing a masters programme is for... developing a network, that will lead you to an advisor and hence a "formal" PhD programme.
I don't have a PhD, but I would love to go back to school and get one. Been rejected 4 times now so I guess my time is running out or already has.
I love that options like this exist, in your searches have you found something for Canadian citizens/PR holders (I'm not a US citizen so this method won't work)?
